Step 3 - Setting File Permissions

After you have completed the section of this guide titled "Step 2 - Uploading," you must now set the file permissions on the files listed in the table below. Since this is a Linux/*nix function, Windows server users will not be able to do this. On a Windows Server, running IIS, you will need to give the data folders (those specified to be CHMOD 755) full read/write permissions. Code folders will need Read, Execution Permissions - Scripts Only. On Windows/IIS servers, you will probably need to contact your web host's support department and request that these permissions be set for you. There is one exception to Inheritance on IIS - Paths.pl must be set to Write. Windows/Apache servers do not use file permissions in this sense, you will not need to try to set them. Windows/Apache is driven by Apache directives/.htaccess.
